Candiria is an Genre Roulette band hailing from Brooklyn, New York. They're best known for blending elements of Metalcore, Hip Hop, and Jazz Fusion into a distinctive style they like to refer to as "urban fusion". While driving on the way to a gig in Cleveland to support their new album during September 2002, Candiria's equipment trailer was hit by a semi-truck, sending it and the van the band was driving flipping several times down the road. Miraculously, the entire band survived the ordeal and even made a picture of the demolished van the album cover for 2004's What Doesn't Kill You....

Candiria provides examples of the following tropes:
- Album Title Drop: "Sirens" for Kiss the Lie.
- Author Existence Failure: Narrowly averted with that traffic accident. Some of the members were asleep when it happened and were thrown out of the van. Everyone had to be hospitalized with a few of them in critical condition.
- Boastful Rap: "Words from the Lexicon".
- Cover Version: Of Method Man's "Bring the Pain" and "Deep Cover" by Dr. Dre and Snoop Dogg.
- Epic Rocking: "R-Evolutionize-R" clocks in a nine-and-a-half minutes while "The Process of Self-Development" is about a minute shorter.
- Everything's Louder with Bagpipes: The ending of "Mathematics".
- Genre Roulette: Band switches between Metalcore, Hip Hop and Jazz, sometimes within the same song.
- Harsh Vocals: It seems to be Carley's primary method of singing, at least pre-What Doesn't Kill You....
- The Unintelligible: Carley's harsh vocals.
- Neoclassical Punk Zydeco Rockabilly: What other band regularly combines metalcore with rapping and jazz?
- New Sound Album:
- What Doesn't Kill You... is more conventional than anything the band had recorded up to that point, featuring traditional song structures and Carley singing melodically.
- Kiss the Lie has a more atmospheric alt-metal sound that eschews the band's previous jazz and hip-hop influences.
- Surprisingly Gentle Song: "Matter. Anti. Matter" is a jazz-fusion number that comes in between two metal songs on The Process of Self-Development.
